FEEDING YOUNG CHICKS.


''' '''''y h''''iN'
To prevent chickens trcading upon
their food II crowding upon each other
when feeding, the food should be put
in Il small box with barred sides, like
u plate rack. The bars may be placed
50 close together that the hen or large
chickens can not get their heads
through to rob little chicks of their
food. Boxes with the bars wider apart
can be used for larger fowl. If you
have many chickens it is u good plan
to pick out the most thrifty from time
to time and run them by themselves.
Weakly chickens should also be picked
out, either TO kill or give them a better
chance than they would have if left
with the stronger ones. Every pen
should have II box containing II mix
turc of ashes, lime and sulphur, Il
pound Of sulphur and a pound of lime
to half a bushcl of ashes for them to
dust in. Examine them occasionally
for insects, and if any are found dust
sulphur into their feathers now and
again until they are free from
them. When found upon the heads Of
young chickens rub in n little sulphur
moistcned with oil or fat. If II chick
appears mopy without apparent reason
| pick it up and examine the vent, which
sometimes becomes chokcd up. II
found in this condition carefully re-
move the obstruction and apply Il little
oil. The toes will also get clogged on
some soils and require cleaning. To
sum up, no part of the chick should
escape close scrutiny if trouble and
loss is to be, avoided. -Am,erican

The Cigarette Habit.

The habit of smoking cigarettes
among public officials is alarmjngly on
the increase. 1t is due, no doubt, TO
the fact that the cigarette affords a
means of satisfying an appetite orcray-
ing for tobacco, and affords enough
pleasure TO the smoker TO last for the
time it is wanted. "A cigar or u pipe
is too much of a smoke" said an OIL
cial talking about the matter, ''in the
Office, where you are liable to be called
on ut a moments notice by a lady or
summoned into the presence of n supc-
rior. In IN emergency of the kind the
little thing can be thrown aside. The

BRAINS mi HANDS.
How 10 Keep Them at Work AT All Times
and In All Places.

NV
Bishop Peck has lately produced
some prominent ideas about dormant
forces and idle muscles, He instances
the idle Young man. No power comes
from his muscles. They were made to
be strong for work, but he does moth
ing. His muscular ability is simply
good for nothing, and he is good for
nothing. Devoted to agriculture or
handlcraft, the physical force which is
dormant within him would give bread
and health and responsibility. As it
is, he is only a nuisance; perhaps Il
loathsome object of pity and contempt.
And the Bishop takes the true ground,
that an industrious young boot-black
is better, and is better off, than a loaf
ing miscrcant sprig of a~ristocracy.
Work is demanded every where. All
departments of industry are languiSh-
ing for want of faithful, skilled work
ers, whether it be making streets, saw
inc wood, or in the higher branches of
skill and art, and yet, witnesses the
good bishop, amid all the din of
| labor in farming, manufactures, in all
the industrial arts, these men have
| nothing to do. How did other men get
work? BY thinking quickly and act
ing promptly, by Selling the best, the
first that came to hand. Tramping,
loumging, begging, never gave employ
ment to any man. The thousands of
idlers have made themselves viciously
brainlcsS. The lapse of powers, active
and bright enough in children, has
come of parental Indulgence, gor-
mandi2ing, laziness, INDUCED depend
ence, drinking. disusc or instruction.
Grand fields of industry, wealth and
usefulness lie all around this idle,
shiftlcSs nuisance, but he can not think
himself into them. lie has lost his
sole cycsight. The very bread, money,
comforts, %clcgancics he signs for are
within reach of his hands, but he can
not see them; wouldn't know them if
he did see them.
But he does not only dcnomcc the
idlcr, he tells him how to find employ

A -WATcHMAKER,s FAME

7. S. Bartlett was one of the origi-
nal foremen in the pioneer Waltham
factory, and his name was adopted as
Il trademark and has been running as
such very nearly thirty years. At tho
lowest calculation 500, 900 Bartlett
watches have been made and sold.
The exact figures arc not at hand, but
this is about rs ear as can bo esti-
mated. The Bartlett watch is unques-
tionably one of tho most popular
watches ever made. 1t ranks almost
as high as the adjusted Appleton,
Tracy q Co.," and is, in fact, con-
structed on the same model. The pat
ent regulator Bartlett is full jewcled,
has a compensating balance fitted with
the Waltham patent Breguet hair
spring, which is hardened and tenn
pered in form so rs never to change its
curve, and is very closely regulated. 1t
is made for any kind of silver or gold
cases. The latest Improvement in the
Bartlett watch is in the opcn-face style
to wind and set without ever opening
the case, the winding as well as the
hand-setting being done by the crown
only. Unlike the arrangements in 9TH
er watches this Bartlett hand-sct is in
the neck Of the case, so that it does not
at all complicate the movement. Up
ward of 1000 of them have been pur-
chased by the British Government dur
ing the past ten years and are used on
the state railways in India. For the
same purpose the colonial authorities
of New South Wales, Victoria and
South Australia have large orders in
hand. Through these excellent time
keepers p. S. Bartlctt's name is known
in all civilized countries. ~ Y. JeWcl-

KEEP A FEW BEES.
Why u Limited Number of Swarms Should
lie Kept on Every Enrm.

he hcpt on Every farlh.
There are, it is computed, over iO0,-
600 persons in the United States who
keep bees. 1t seems but u small num-
Der out of a population of 60, coo, 600
people, about onG-half of whom are
living on farms, large and small.
There is but little carc necessary in
the management of two or three hives
of bees but what may be attended to
by the feminine portion of the family
in the absence of the men folks.
Many persons are deferred from
keeping bees from the fear of being
stung. There is really little danger Of
this, unless bees are roughly handled.
A bee never stings if it can be avoided.
If pinchcd, or if in handling they are
caught between the skin and clothes
and frightened, they will sting. There
is, however, no necessity for this,
neither is it necessary that boys be
allowed to rilc up the bees. The same
discipline that Restraints in other mis-
chief should hold here. Bees are more
often made ugly by the mischief of
boys than by any other cause. There
is no reason why every farmer should
not care for Il few Swarms of bees.
The failures come from attempting too
much at once. Begin with Il single
swarm, learn the habits and manage
ment of bees, 90 slowly, stop if YOU
choose at five or six swarms as the ulti-
mate number. Do not invest in fancy
